New life after oil change

Deleted Member S · 07-08-2007, 21:28

This may sound strange, but took the T2 into the garage where I used to work for oil & filter change today (I had to have a garage stamp for the warranty)The thing that has got me is it now feels more alive & pulling better than ever :? I was wondering if this normal for a TDI after an oil change. They put in 15w40 semi syn oil & by god they were calling me as they had a job getting at the oil filter

Am I right that the oil & filter should be changed every 6000miles :? I've always done it that way. It now feels better than when I bourght it, saying that they prob put the cheapest of cheap oil in it when I got it :roll:
It cost me £40 & my old boss even washed off oil from filter & engine bay :smile:

"Am I right that the oil & filter should be changed every 6000miles" yes your right.

Yes your right also about the car running better when it has had a service.
